Welcome to the PigMania Lima Kids-Q contest (Chicken Wings)

Unless otherwise stated below. Kids affiliated with a Team at the KCBS contest may cook in their teams designated spot. If they are not with a team an area will be assigned for those contestants to cook in.

One adult helper is allowed per team. Let’s make sure to keep the kids safe so please have a responsible adult prepare and tend to fires as well as do any knife work. All other times the adult is to be hands off. The child must do the preparation, cooking and presentation. If the child is unable to do all of these he/she is too young to cook. Adult helper may do lighting of the grill and/or any slicing deemed too dangerous for the cook. The adult helper must be present at all times until the box is turned in.

Approx. 20 chicken wings will be provided to each team at the 11:00 am “Cooks Meeting”

You can use your own utensils, grills, seasoning and marinades. Please use food service gloves while handling meat. If you are unable to get any, please ask at the cooks meeting and we will provide you with some.
